Little League baseball -- where youngsters learn the American pastime and parents beat the living hell out of each other.
Wait, what?
That's apparently how it works in Lakewood, Colo., a suburb of Denver, where an all-out brawl broke out between a group of parents during a game for seven-year-olds last weekend.
The melee was set off by one parent who was frustrated by the calls being made by a 13-year-old umpire. Of course.
These adults took over the field and began assaulting each other on 6/15 during a youth baseball game. We're looking for any info, in particular to ID the man in the white shirt/teal shorts. Several people have already been cited in this fight and injuries were reported. pic.twitter.com/ieenhwCrbU

June 18, 2019 According to ABC News, police issued four citations for disorderly conduct and are still searching for other culprits. They are particularly focused on an adult male (seen in the video above in a white T-shirt and teal shorts) who threw multiple punches at defenseless victims.
One person in the brawl suffered a serious injury, while others suffered minors ones.
And everyone lost.
